about the book:
There's hardly a fantasy fan who hasn't read the gospel of
the genre, J.R.R. Tolkien's definitive three-book epic, The Lord
of the Rings (encompassing The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two
Towers, and The Return of the King), and its charming precursor,
The Hobbit. That many (if not most) fantasy works are in some
way derivative of Tolkien is understood, but the influence of
The Lord of the Rings is so universal that everybody from George
Lucas to Led Zeppelin has appropriated it for one purpose or
another.
Not just revolutionary because it was groundbreaking, The
Lord of the Rings is timeless because it's the product of a truly
top-shelf mind. Tolkien was a distinguished linguist and Oxford
scholar of dead languages, with strong ideas about the importance
of myth and story and a deep appreciation of nature. His epic,
10 years in the making, recounts the Great War of the Ring and
the closing of Middle-Earth's Third Age, a time when magic begins
to fade from the world and men rise to dominance. Tolkien carefully
details this transition with tremendous skill and love, creating
in The Lord of the Rings a universal and all-embracing tale,
a justly celebrated classic.
Three films of The Lord of the Rings were made on location
in New Zealand. US Release dates are set for December 2001, December 2002, and December 2003.
